The objective of this course is to gain a basic understanding of strategic decision making, familiarise yourselves with the simple models used in game
theory as well as some of the applications.

Requirements during the semester (homeworks, essays, excercises, teamworks, presentations, part and final oral/written exam etc.):

1. Be present
The formal requirement is not to miss more than 30% (this means 3 here) of the classes
2. Be prepared
We have 10 short 10-20 mins tests during the course, basically at the beginning of each class. These tests check your understanding of the previous
